What it is
Spinach flakes are dried pieces of spinach leaves. They are made by harvesting fresh spinach, washing it, and then drying it using methods like air drying or freeze-drying to preserve its color and nutrients. The dried flakes are then typically cut or broken into smaller pieces.
Why it's used
Spinach flakes are used to add the flavor and color of spinach to foods without the moisture and bulk of fresh spinach. They are commonly found in seasoning mixes, pasta dishes, dips, sausages, and other savory products where a concentrated spinach taste is desired.
Health notes

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated spinach and its components. At typical consumption levels found in packaged foods, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Spinach flakes are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
